TURNTABLE_RUMBLE_FILTER

Published:2009/7/8 23:27:00 Author:May

Many record players unfortunately exhibit two undesired side effects: rumble (noise caused by the motor and the turntable) and other low-frequency spurious signals. The active high-pass Chebyshev filter presented here was designed to suppress those noises. The filter has a 0.1-dB ripple characteristic and a cut-off point of 18 Hz. The choice of a Chebyshev filter might not seem optimum for audio purposes, but because of its 0.1-dB ripple in the pass band it behaves very much like a Butterworth type. Its advantage is that the response has steeper skirts (which are calculated curves). Frequencies below 10 Hz are attenuated by more than 35 dB. The phase behavior in the pass band shows a gradual shift so that its effect on the repro-duced sound is inaudible. If the filter is used in a stereo installation, the characteristics of both filters must be identical or nearly so. Phase differences between channels can be heard-perhaps not so much at lower frequencies, but certainly in the midranges. To ensure identity and also to obtain the desired characteristics, capacitors C1 through C5 must be selected carefully. It does not matter much whether their value is 467 or 473 pF; this difference only causes a slight shift of the cut-off point. However, they must be identical within that 1% tolerance. For symmetry of channels, the capacitors can be paired and then used in either channel at the corresponding position. The diagram shows theoretical values for the resistors: their practical values are given in the table.The prototype was constructed with 5% metal-film types from the E12 series and these were used with-out sorting. Their tolerance was perfectly acceptable in practice. The current drawn by the circuit is purely that through the op amp and it amounts to about 4 mA. The high cut-off point is also determined by the op amp and it lies at about 3 MHz. The only problem that cannot be foreseen is a possible coupling capacitor in the signal source. That component will be in series with C1 and this might adversely affect the frequency response. However, if its value is greater than 47 μF, it will have little if any effect; if it is below that value, it is best removed; C1 will assume its function.   (View)

1A_WITH_0005_VOLTAGE_ACCURACY

Published:2009/7/8 23:26:00 Author:May

Use of National LM120 negative regulator with LM108A low-drift opamp and 1N829 precision reference diode gives extremely tight regula-tion, very low temperature drift, and full over load protection. Bridge arrangement sets output voltage and holds reference diode current constant. FET is required because 4-mA maximum ground current of regulator exceeds output current rating of opamp. R1 and R2 should track to 1 PPM or less. R3 is chosen to set reference current at 7.5 mA. For output of 8 to 14 V, use LM120-5.0; for 15-17V, use LM120-12.-C. T.

RANGING_SYSTEM

Published:2009/7/8 23:19:00 Author:May

Combine an electrostatic transducer with an ultrasonic transceiver IC to build a ranging system that senses objects at distances from 4 inches to more than 30 feet. Transducer Y1's broadband characteristic simplifies tuning. The secondary of T1 resonates with the 500-pF capacitor C1 at a frequency between 50 and 60 kHz. You tune L1 to this frequency by using an oscilloscope to note the maximum echo sensitivity at pin 1. Step-up transformer T1 prov.ides 150-V bias for the transducer.   (View)

TREMOLO_3

Published:2009/7/8 23:15:00 Author:May

This simple circuit can color the sound cormng from your audio system. Clocking for the circuit is provided by an oscillator built from one quarter of a 4093 quad NAND Schmitt trigger. With the component values shown, it will run at about 5 Hz. The clock frequency is fed to the gain control, pin 8, of an LM386 amplifier. Tremolo is produced by varying the amplifier gain. A trimmer potentiometer can be put in series with R1, to easily experiment with different rates. To experiment, make R1 about 100-KΩ and use a 1-MΩ trimmer. That allows frequen-cies from about 2 to 20 Hz to pass. Resistor R2 is the depth control. It controls the degree of tremolo. To adjust, put a trimmer in series with R2. Make R2 a 5-KΩ unit and use a 50-KΩ trimmen Since the tremolo clock uses the gain-control pin of the amplifier, change the value of capacitor C4 in order to change the gain of the amplifter. Make C4 larger to increase the gain or smaller to decrease it. But. don't go any lower than 0.1 μF because you'll be cutting into the bottom-end frequency response.   (View)

ELECTRONIC_TREMOLO

Published:2009/7/8 23:10:00 Author:May

The tremolo effect is generated by a repeating volume change at a rate usually between 1 and 15 Hz. The timer produces a low frequency square wave that is smoothed by a simple rc integrator. This varying signal modulates the signal input from the instrument. Transistor T1 is used as a voltage controlled resistor. The output of the circuit is connected in parallel to the output of the instrument. Potentiometer P1 provides depth control by adjusting the amplitude of the modulating waveform applied to the instrument. The rate control frequency is set by potentiometer P2.   (View)

A potion of the oscillator output is taken from the depth pot and used to modulate the on resistance of two 1N914 diodes operating as voltage controlled attenuators. Care must be taken to restrict the incoming signal level to less than 0.6 V pk-pk, or undesirable clipping will occur.   (View)
